I also don't think a cocker would fit it.

greyhound daddys greyhound can be offleash..http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=90438
i'm sure you can teach them to not run off. Its difficult for 'hound' dogs in general.from experience with a Beagle,and with Kodie. He's part bloodhound and he cant be offleash yet,but thats mostly my fault

i was also going to say Greyhound

why dont you think a cocker would fit??

a poodle may fit also.... if you have time for the grooming needs. but you have to teach them not to bark. TOY poodles like to bark.

Wow haha, how embarressing.

I just don't want to get a breed that is totally not for me. I will adapt my lifestyle for a dog. I know that each dog is different but basically I'm just scared that I will get one and it just wont work. I'm honestly not that picky, I just want the best for my future dog.

I've actually seen more barky Standard Poodles than Toy. The Toys/Miniatures tend to be quiet ... at least where I work lol. Besides, she wants a big dog
